I'd remembered seeing the option to auto mount removable media when
attached in System Settings > Advanced tab > Removable Devices
but I just tried it on a removable NTFS formatted USB HD I had and it
didn't work. I even tried the check boxes for "Mount on Attach" but it
was a no go. I can here the drive get accessed when I hit it with
Dolphin but it ultimately doesn't mount. I'm sure if it was FAT32 it
would have worked fine. Kris, can that auto-mount feature be leveraged
by NTFS-3G somehow? <br>

I have a USB thumb drive that is formatted in FAT32, and that worked
without any problems in Dolphin. I can see the contents without using
sudolphin or the terminal.<br>
<br>
My USB NTFS drive, however, while it has directories created in /media
for each mount attempt, is marked unmounted in Dolphin, and listing the
mount points in the terminal shows that they are empty. Konqueror also
shows the directories as empty.<br>
<br>
My internal SATA NTFS drive shows the same behavior as the USB NTFS
drive.<br>
<br>
So this looks like Dolphin is having problems mounting the NTFS drive
in the first place. Manually mounting the NTFS drives using ntfs-3g
from the terminal works, and the drives become accessible from Dolphin.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know where to configure Dolphin's mounting options?<br>

I'm still not able to mount ntfs drives in dolphin in 8.1 Release. I
didn't<br>
get any error messages as well.<br>
<br>
The only other thing that I noticed is that it will create directories
in<br>
/media, one for each mount attempt. So, for example, I'm trying to
mount my<br>
FreeAgent drive, I'll get "FreeAgent Drive", "FreeAgent Drive-1",
"FreeAgent<br>
Drive-2", and so on.<br>
<br>
Is there anyone else trying to mount ntfs drives in dolphin? Are you<br>
successful? If so, did you have to do some special configuration?<br>
<br>
========================================================<br>
<br>
Bill --<br>
<br>
I'm running PCBSD 8.1-RELEASE.<br>
<br>
I plugged in my FreeAgent 500 USB drive (which I had previously
converted to FAT32 & named the volume as "AGENT500")<br>
<br>
Here is what I find:<br>
<br>
1. Dolphin recognized the drive and mounted it at /media/AGENT500<br>
<br>
2. Dolphin did NOT show the contents.<br>
<br>
3. KDiskFree (Start > Applications > System > View Disk
Usage) correctly shows the mountpoint and drive statistics<br>
<br>
4. Although Dolphin won't show any files, Terminal lets you cd over to
the mount point and list the files.<br>
<br>
5. Dolphin lets me un-mount the disk via a right-click on the name of
the USB drive in "Places" <br>
<br>
6. If I create a mount point (/mnt/whatever), then I can successfully
mount the drive in terminal with <br>
<br>
# mount -t msdosfs -o large /dev/da2s1 /mnt/whatever<br>
or with<br>
# mount_msdosfs -o large /dev/da2s1 /mnt/whatever<br>
<br>
7. Dolphin will show the mountpoint but will not see or list the files<br>
<br>
8. Terminal lets you cd over to the mountpoint and list the files.<br>
<br>
Two more very important points:<br>
<br>
9. Konqueror lets you see all the files.<br>
<br>
10. Dolphin Admin (sudolphin) lets you see all the files.<br>
<br>
Try Konqueror and Dolphin Admin to see if you get the same behavior and
reach the conclusion like I do that "regular" Dolphin has a bug.<br>
